'Mountains,Moods and Mist'

News from: Diane on 7 November 2007

‘Mountains, Moods and Mists’ November 25th – February 2008 We conclude our ‘Spotlight On’ calendar in Viridian Gallery this year with an exhibition of my own recent work. It is the largest body of work I have put together and exhibited since opening the gallery in 1997, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in my studio, planning and painting. There will be some 30 original pieces and the collection will include paintings of Cumbria, Scotland and Austria. As always I remain fascinated by the effect of changing light and atmosphere on the landscape, and I feel this exhibition will reflect my observations of changing colour spectrums in the different countries. I am constantly adding to my limited edition print portflio and the full range will be available in the gallery. Many of my earlier editions are out of print now, but I think the collection plots the development in my painting, style, techniques and influences over time. My next project will be to update my website to include the recent images. The gallery continues to evolve and reflects the proggression in all of our work. Our exhibitions this year have been well received and successful. Our artists displaying permanentely in the gallery include Alan Rutherford, Jane Matthews, Jane Ward, Jim Binns, Valerie Montgomery and Venus Griffiths. Our ceramicists include Pat Armstrong, John Kershaw, Fiona Mazza and Karen Lainson. In addition we display several popular design led collections, glassware, ceramics and jewellery, in an attempt to provide our customers with gift solutions.
